Relationship between adversity quotient and professional values in standardized-trained nurses / 中国职业医学

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between adversity quotient and professional values in standardized-trained nurses. METHODS: OBJECTIVE: sampling method was adopted, 502 nurses who received standardized training from third class A hospitals were selected as research subjects. Questionnaire survey was carried out by Adversity Quotient Scale and Weis Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised to calculate standardized scores of adversity quotient and professional values. RESULTS: The standardized scores of adversity quotient and professional values in the standardized-trained nurses were(3.2±0.4) and(3.8±0.6). The standardized scores of professional values, care provision, activism, responsibility, freedom and safety, and trust in standardized-trained nurses were positively correlated with the standardized score of adversity quotient(correlation coefficients were 0.192, 0.160, 0.179, 0.227, 0.166, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the score of freedom and safety in standardized-trained nurses, the higher the level of adversity quotient(P<0.01). The level of adversity quotient of those who are satisfied with their position was higher than those who are indifferent to their position(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The adversity quotient of standardized-trained nurses is positively correlated with their professional values. The level of adversity quotient of standardized-trained nurses can be improved by cultivating good professional values to stabilize the clinical nursing team.
